about

NOT FROM THE SUN

Is a song written the last time a nuclear threat was discussed so commonly in the news and inspired by 80s artists music at the time. Now it seems every day in 2022/2023 we hear about nuclear risk and imminent danger in the news.

The lyrics reflect a dystopian future with a barren landscape of ruin and despair. The whole purpose of which is to NOT wish for this, but rather give an image of it so that you are repulsed by it and willing to do whatever your small part in your world can do, to avoid nuclear devastation.

lyrics

If the icicle melts, I’ll be ‘round your door
If the icicle melts, not from the sun
When the skyscraper melts, we’d better be on the floor
And wait to see who hasn’t won
Hey little girl, I am not trying to scare you
I’m just trying to give you all the truth
About the bomb that dropped on Nagasaki
It’s the same one they gave to you
Where have all the people gone?
What has happened to you?
Where are all your loved ones?
Did they get taken too?
Do you know what’s happened here?
Are you a little confused?
About the death that surrounds this place
Come with me, I’ll tell you...
As we wander around amongst the dust and cinder
A menacing thought has just come true
About the fallout and the radiation
I wonder if the World will come through
The Madness of leaders with hallucinate faces,
Brought a fiery hot wind, not from the sun.
When the darkness has fallen, and we sink into ashes
It’ll seem that God has waited too long
Where have all the people gone?
What has happened to you?
Where are all your loved ones?
Did they get taken too?
Do you know what’s happened here?
Are you a little confused?
About the death that surrounds this place
Come with me, I’ll tell you...
Where have all the people gone? (people gone)
What has happened to you? (to you)
Where are all your loved ones? (loved ones)
Did they get taken too? (taken too)
Do you know what’s happened here? (happened here)
Are you a little confused? (confused!)
About the death that surrounds this place (ahhhhhh)
Come with me, I’ll tell you...
